Bad Wither No Cookie - Reloaded in Project Infinity 0.1

Same as in the All the Mods 10 2.12 guide

Bad Wither No Cookie - Reloaded is a small quality-of-life mod that deals with some of Minecraft's loudest moments. Normally the wither spawning, the ender dragon dying and thunder are broadcast so that everyone hears them, no matter where they are. This mod localizes those sounds, and it can also silence other sounds you choose to configure, including sounds added by other mods.^[1]

This pack includes version 3.20.2 of the mod, running on NeoForge.^[2]

Who it's for

If you play on a server, this one is for you. When someone runs a wither or dragon farm or uses spawners for these mobs, those world-wide sounds can fire over and over for everyone online. With this mod installed you won't have to listen to every wither and dragon somebody else is farming.^[1]

Since 1.18.2 the mod runs only on the client, so it works on your own game even if the server doesn't have it installed.^[1]

What it can silence

• The wither spawn sound and the wither death sound.^[1]
• The ender dragon death sound.^[1]
• Lightning and thunder.^[1]
• Wandering trader and llama ambient sounds.^[1]
• Any other sound you add in the config file, including sounds from other mods.^[1]

Where it fits in the pack

This isn't a progression mod. It's a lightweight sound tweak, and its whole job is to keep other players' boss farms and big storms from filling up your speakers.^[1]

Unverified The project page says the sounds it lists are 'disabled by default' and that console messages about silenced sounds are also turned off by default. It's unclear whether this means those sounds are already silenced right after install or whether you need to enable them in the config yourself.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Good news: there's nothing to craft here. This mod is a sound silencer, not a content mod. It quiets the loud world-wide broadcast sounds that play no matter how far away you are.^[1]

The sources I have don't show any items, recipes or quests for it in this pack, so there's no first-items-to-make order and no recipe to show. I'd rather say that than invent a progression.^[1]

What it does

The project page says the mod silences these sounds: wither, End Dragon, thunder, and any other sound that any mod makes. It's especially handy on servers where spawners or farms for those mobs are running.^[1]

Your first steps

1. Install it on your client only. From 1.18.2 onward the mod is client-sided and no longer runs on the server, so it can be on your client even if the server doesn't have it.^[1]
2. Know the defaults. The project page lists the sound types it mentions as disabled by default, and the console output for a silenced sound is also silenced by default. The page doesn't say whether this pack changed any of that, so check the config file yourself.^[1]
3. Find the name of a sound you want gone. Use the /listen command, which shows event sound names, then add the sound you care about to the config file.^[1]

Unverified This pack's exact config values, the config option names, and whether any sounds are silenced out of the box in this pack are not confirmed by the available sources.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 2.11 guide

This mod has no machines, multiblocks, power or item logistics. It is a lightweight utility that handles one annoying thing: the world-wide broadcast sounds that some events play for everyone. It localizes the wither and dragon death sounds so you aren't blasted by them from wherever they happen.^[1]

This is especially handy on multiplayer servers where people run spawners or farms for these mobs, because those broadcast sounds can otherwise go off again and again.^[1]

What it can silence

• Wither sounds, including the wither spawn sound and the wither death sound.^[1]
• The End Dragon death sound.^[1]
• Lightning and thunder.^[1]
• Wandering trader and llama ambient sounds, which the mod added in 1.16.1 and newer.^[1]
• Any other sound that any mod makes, as long as you configure it.^[1]

Client-side only

From 1.18.2 onward, the mod no longer runs on the server at all. It is purely client-sided, so you can install it on your own game even if the server doesn't have it. In 1.17.x and lower it had to be on both sides, but that doesn't apply to modern versions.^[1]

Config file and finding sound names

Everything is controlled through a config file. The project page says all the sound types listed above are disabled by default. It also says the console message that normally appears when a sound gets silenced is turned off by default, so your log doesn't get spammed.^[1]

To silence a sound from another mod, you need its event sound name. The mod adds the /listen command, which shows you event sound names so you can find the one you want to block and add it to the config.^[1]

Unverified This pack doesn't ship a config file for this mod, so the exact settings you'll get in the pack, the config file's name and location, and the exact format for adding extra sounds can't be confirmed here.

This mod only has a handful of options, and they all live in one file: General.debugMode and its neighbours in the General section. The mod silences those loud server-wide broadcast sounds, and the file decides which ones get muted.^[1][3]

What the pack turns on

• General.silenceWither is true. This silences the server-wide Wither spawn and death broadcast sounds.^[3]
• General.silenceDragon is true. This silences the server-wide Ender Dragon death broadcast sound.^[3]
• General.silenceLightning is true. This silences the server-wide thunder broadcast sound caused by the Lightning event.^[3]
• General.silenceTrader is true. This silences the wandering trader's ambient sound.^[3]

Custom sounds and debugging

General.silenceUs is your own list of sounds to silence. The pack leaves it at a single empty entry, so nothing extra is listed. If you want to add some, the file says to enter one sound event per line with no commas.^[3]

To find the sound event names, use the /listen command that comes with the mod.^[1][3]

General.debugMode is false in the pack. If you switch it on, the console fills with messages showing which sounds are received and whether they are being canceled. That is handy while you work out what to put in your own list, but it is spammy, so turn it off again afterwards.^[3]

Unverified Whether any of these values differ from the mod's own defaults is not confirmed. The mod page describes its default state only loosely, so treat the values above as what this pack uses, not as proof of a change.

The pack currently ships Bad Wither No Cookie - Reloaded 3.17.2 (file bwncr-forge-1.20.1-3.17.2.jar). It has been in the pack since Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.45.4 or earlier, so it has been there for a good while.^[4]

Mod changelog

• 3.17.2: fixed the thunder sound id check. This is the only change listed in the mod changelog I was given, and it is the version your pack runs.^[4][5]

Unverified No pack changelog entries for this mod were available, and the mod changelogs for versions before 3.17.2 were not provided, so any earlier history is unverified.
